My dear Doctor
A patient of mine, Mr. W. A. Bertman, writes me that he had a conversation with you regarding Auto-Hemifc Therapy and that you expressed a wish that I write you regarding it.
Briefly, I might say, that Auto-Hemic Therapy consists of giving the patient intravenously a remedy made from a few drops of his or her own blood, without the addition of any drugs or bacteria - a system I have been developing since the , the date I gave the first Auto-Hemic treatment. It is in perfect harmony with the very latest revealed facts in physiological and patholoigcal chemistry. On account of the unmeasurable human factor in every case, no therapy is, or can be mathematically scientific, but this is more nearly so than any other therapy that has ever been evolved.
Statistics show that out of one hundred chrojnic sufferers taken at random, eighty-five will be benefited by this treatment - many of them positively cured. As an Iowa physician expresses it, after two years of observation upon hundreds of cases: To enumerate the diseases which can be cured or at least reliveved by the Auto-Hemic treatment would be a task and almost conver the entire field of pathology.
As general indications for this treatment I would say that it is applicable in all conditions (no matter what name we may give the complaint) in which the following symptoms of toxemia are present, viz:
Malaise
Feeling of being run down
Loss of strength
Nervous instability
Digestive disturbances (hypomotility and hyposecretion)
Loss of weight
Increased Pulse rate
Night Sweats
Temperature
Blood changes
In December 1918 fifty physicians reported results attained in over 3000 cases, with this treatment, covering a list of about two hundred different complaints. Since this time, the list has been considerably lengthened, and as time passes its range of applicability widens and its beneficial effects are found to be more far-reaching than even I had anticipated. Just recently it has been preven to work wonders in all forms of toxic insanities, and this opens up still another avenue not dreamed of at its inception.
Judging from what it has accomplished already, and the data already accumulated, today it is a conservative statement to say that there are ten million chronic sufferers in the United States who could be relieved in such a suprisingly short space of time that it seems almost miraculous and too good to be true.
To summarize: the average patient after a few treatments seems rejuvenated - appears younger, brighter, and more active mentally and physically. The mind is clearer; poften previous pessimism is succeeded by optimism, and the mental and physical endurance enormously increased. It is a common observation of college students that after taking the Auto-Hemic treatment they are able to make better grades at their examinations.
The reactions following the treatment are never serious; often nothing is noticed except that the patient looks and feels better. When there are any reactions they are of short duration. Treatments are never repeated under a week or ten days, sometimes a month apart, if the patient is doing well.
In the beginning I demonstrated this method before twelve different medical conventions, but I soon found that Auto-Hemic Therapy was something that must be done right or not at all, and in order to protect the system and the public it was necessary that every physician attempting to practice it, be thoroughly instructed in its principles, practice and technique. My time, therefore is now mostly occupied in teaching and practicing this method of treatment, which many doctors of long and wide experience have been kind enough to say will eventually revolutionize the therapeutic world as it is founded on basic and unchangeable laws.
If you should desire any further information, command me.
Fraternally and respectfully,
